VALERIA LEONOVA
It’s interesting to see whom you’ll meet at an event such as the Jazz Lawn Party at Governor’s Island. There are the passionate vintage collectors, swing-dancers, jazz musicians, picnickers, photographers, media writers, and fashion lovers who simply love dressing up for an event. Then there are the observers attending the event for the very first time. Valeria, a Russian model who has traveled the world for her work in the fashion industry including modeling for Project Runway Season 2, was avidly taking snapshots at the Jazz Lawn Party. I love her open and vivid personality, as she appeared comfortable speaking with me while we walked deeper in the open fields to get away from the crowd. It was such a delight meeting Valeria and I’m certainly looking to see how her career progresses.
